Association between prenatal exposure to multiple insecticides and child body weight and body composition in the VHEMBE South African birth cohort

Coker, Eric; Chevrier, Jonathan; Rauch, Stephen; Bradman, Asa; Obida, Muvhulawa; Crause, Madelein; Bornman, Maria S. (Riana); Eskenazi, Brenda (Elsevier, 2018-04)

BACKGROUND : Pregnant women may be co-exposed to multiple insecticides in regions where both pyrethroids and dichlorodiphenyltrichloroethane (DDT) are used for indoor residual spraying (IRS) for malaria control. Despite ...
Associations of maternal exposure to dichlorodiphenyltrichloroethane and pyrethroids with birth outcomes among participants in the Venda health examination of mothers, babies and their environment residing in an area sprayed for malaria control

Chevrier, Jonathan; Rauch, Stephen; Crause, Madelein; Obida, Muvhulawa; Gaspar, Fraser W.; Bornman, Maria S. (Riana) (Oxford University Press, 2019-01)

Although effective in controlling malaria, indoor residual spraying results in elevated exposure to insecticides such as dichlorodiphenyltrichloroethane (DDT) and pyrethroids. These chemicals cross the placenta, but no ...
A community-based education programme to reduce insecticide exposure from indoor residual spraying in Limpopo, South Africa

Eskenazi, Brenda; Levine, David I.; Rauch, Stephen; Obida, Muvhulawa; Crause, Madelein; Bornman, Maria S. (Riana); Chevrier, Jonathan (BioMed Central (BMC), 2019-06)

BACKGROUND: Indoor residual spraying (IRS), the coating of interior walls of houses with insecticides, is common in malaria-endemic areas. While important in malaria control, IRS potentially exposes residents to harmful ...
Dichlorodiphenyltrichloroethane exposure and anogenital distance in the Venda Health Examination of Mothers, Babies and their Environment (VHEMBE) birth cohort study, South Africa

Bornman, Maria S. (Riana); Chevrier, J.; Rauch, S.; Crause, Madelein; Obida, Muvhulawa; Sathyanarayana, S.; Barr, D.B.; Eskenazi, B. (Wiley, 2016-07)

Dichlorodiphenyltrichloroethane (DDT) is used for malaria control by 10 countries, nine of which are in Africa. Technical DDT contains various isomers with 65-80% insecticidal p,p'-DDT and 15-21% o,p'-DDT, an estrogenic ...
Maternal exposure to DDT, DDE, and pyrethroid insecticides for malaria vector control and hypospadias in the VHEMBE birth cohort study, Limpopo, South Africa

Bornman, Maria S. (Riana); Acerini, Carlo L.; Chevrier, Jonathan; Rauch, Stephen A.; Crause, Madelein; Obida, Muvhulawa; Eskenazi, Brenda (Elsevier, 2022-11)

Hypospadias is the ectopic opening of the urethra on the penis or scrotum. Exposure to estrogenic and/or anti-androgenic chemicals in utero may play an etiologic role. DDT and the pyrethroids cypermethrin and deltamethrin, ...
Prenatal exposure to DDT and pyrethroids for malaria control and child neurodevelopment : the VHEMBE Cohort, South Africa

Eskenazi, Brenda; An, Sookee; Rauch, Stephen A.; Coker, Eric S.; Maphula, Angelina; Obida, Muvhulawa; Crause, Madelein; Kogut, Katherine R.; Bornman, Maria S. (Riana); Chevrier, Jonathan (National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences, 2018-04-06)

BACKGROUND : Although indoor residual spraying (IRS) with dichlorodiphenyltrichloroethane (DDT) and pyrethroids effectively controls malaria, it potentially increases human exposure to these insecticides. Previous studies ...
Seasonality of antenatal care attendance, maternal dietary intake, and fetal growth in the VHEMBE birth cohort, South Africa

Fahey, Carolyn A.; Chevrier, Jonathan; Crause, Madelein; Obida, Muvhulawa; Bornman, Maria S. (Riana); Eskenazi, Brenda (Public Library of Science, 2019-09-25)

BACKGROUND : Seasonality of food availability, physical activity, and infections commonly occurs within rural communities in low and middle-income countries with distinct rainy seasons. To better understand the ...
Undisturbed dust as a metric of long-term indoor insecticide exposure : residential DDT contamination from indoor residual spraying and its association with serum levels in the VHEMBE cohort

Gaspar, Fraser W.; Chevrier, Jonathan; Bornman, Maria S. (Riana); Crause, Madelein; Obida, Muvhulawa; Barr, Dana Boyd; Bradman, Asa; Bouwman, Henk; Eskenazi, Brenda (Elsevier, 2015-12)

Although approximately 123 million people may be exposed to high levels of insecticides through the use of indoor residual spraying (IRS) for malaria control, fewstudies exist on indoor insecticide contamination due to ...
